Allow the DSPDBR command to cope with more than 52,000 logical views over a single physical file.?

The limit of 52,000 logical views over a single physical file is not a system limit as the system clearly allows a lot more logical views. The only limit is in within the DSPDBR command, which crashes when it reaches a physical with over 52,000. Can this bug please be fixed.


Use Case:

see PMR for the full details

    While IBM does not intend to extend the currently supported limit for the DSPDBR command, an enhancement that was delivered in spring 2020 returns all the logical views and many other dependents for a file. The SYSTOOLS.RELATED_OBJECTS table function returns all objects related to a specified database file, including logical files, views, and indexes.

    See https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6340755 for details.

    This was made available for IBM i 7.4 with SF99704 Level 10 and for IBM i 7.3 with SF99703 Level 22.
